The Designer Gardens

I just heard from one of my students, Mike Hogan, who took my Early Spring Vegetable Gardening class on February 13, plus paid careful attention when I talked about my method for planting tomatoes.  Mike was kind enough to send me the above picture of what his garden looks like now, in the summertime. His daughter, Fiona, is posing delightfully in the center of it. 

Here is what Mike put in his tomato planting holes, my recommended fish heads, shell bodies, and eggshells, among other things:

Mike also sent me a photo of how his garden changed from taking the class on February 13 to May 2, the results of that specific class:

I like the straw mulch, that bountiful Mizuna and Red Frizzle Mustard. I see the peppers and eggplants in the bed behind waiting for some warmer weather.  Looks like it all worked out brilliantly for Mike.  Glad he came to my class and shared his success story!
